This paper reveals Automatic Generation Control (AGC) strategies of power systems including diverse type power generating sources and comprehensive literature review is also presented. These diverse type energy sources considered conventional power sources like thermal, diesel, nuclear, etc. and Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). RESs are solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, etc. A variety of AGC schemes based on hard, soft and artificial intelligent computation techniques is presented here. The benefits and their limitations of these energy generating units are also taken in this article. In the present scenario, deregulation, smart micro-grid and grid concept is also utilized with interconnection of the considered energy generating sources. The literature of this review article fulfills the gap of recent and previous decades research work and provides future exploration in AGC techniques.
